MTH E-4 HUDSON
STEAM ENGINE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the MTH Electric Trains die-cast E-4 steam
locomotive. This ¼” scale reproduction of the famous E-4 locomotive
measures over 27” in length and weighs over 11 pounds. Despite its scale
size, the locomotive is capable of operating on O-42 3-rail track with any
compatible AC transformer, (see page 31 for a complete list of compatible
transformers and wiring instructions) and is completely compatible with
most other 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock and accessories.
The locomotive and tender are equipped with several deluxe features that
are simple and fun to operate. Each feature is described among the
following pages which should be read before the engine is operated. For
those of you who can’t wait to get started, the
Quick Start Operating
Instructions
, found on page 3, should be read so that you understand the
basics of the operating system. Those features marked for 2 and 3-rail
engines are available in both types of engines. Features not marked as such
are only available in the 3-rail version.
